Wet snow


Thus far only a little snow is lying. Low danger will prevail.

From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. Above approximately 1500 m there are 10 to 20 cm of snow. Above approximately 2000 m there are 20 to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. The wind was strong at times in some localities. In particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain wind slabs formed, especially above approximately 1800 m. At low and intermediate altitudes a low danger will prevail. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and larger.

Snowpack

The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field. On very steep slopes and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls the avalanche danger is a little higher. The snowpack will be generally stable. It is not distinctly layered. As a consequence of highly fluctuating temperatures, solar radiation the snowpack consolidated during the last few days. The mostly small wind slabs of last week are clearly recognisable. These are to be found especially adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and generally at high altitudes.

Tendency

Gradual decrease in avalanche danger.
